Help Ex.Muslim Self publishing his book “From Islam to Womanism—My spiritual Journey ” It is about how and why he renounced and embraced creed of atheistic Womanism, pinnacle of humanism.

I have to self-publish my book "From Islam to Womanism-- My spiritual Journey" and need $ 5000 for printing services. Please Donate/Support/Share click here  http://igg.me/at/yangburzhome/x/5005221
I have a manuscript, titled "From Islam to Womanism, My spiritual Journey" approximately 90000 words and containing 200 pages. The manuscript is complete and ready for publishing.
Now the problem is that no mainstream publisher is willing to publish the book because of criminalization of criticism of Islam and even scholarly criticism is not tolerated. I am determined to get it published. I have decided to self-publish the book but I do not have funds for the same and need $ 5000 for editorial, printing and publishing services. If you think that such a book should be published, please donate. If you cannot donate, please spread the word, let the like minded people know about it.
The book is my spiritual journey from Islam to Womanism. It is thought provoking, pro-woman, humanistic, scholarly, a piece of a creative and critical thinking that will interest general readers as well as academia, the political left and the right, and all those who
are interested in Islam. It is not merely about why I renounced Islam, it is also how I became an atheist; why I did not convert to any other religion, what led me to new spirituality, Womanism, the pinnacle of humanism, and what are its theoretical and philosophical foundations. It may be deemed to be an atheist invitation to more than one billion Muslims to renounce Islam, and a guide to become an atheist.

The book is worth being given as a gift to Christian converts to Islam and Muslims aspiring to be atheists. It is better than others on the market, as it is a true story and is consistently scholarly book. I have adopted Non Theologicentric approach in understanding Islam and treated Islam as RIA(Repressive Ideological Apparatus)
